I'm not complaining, just explaining the reality as it is, so you can better focus your energy on solutions that can work.
Educating plebs to use and adapt privacy tech will do far more to attain your goals than reasoning with regulators who essentially make laws according to KYC loving corporations controlled politicians. Change in history often comes by changing consumer habits and preferences and NOT by speaking with regulators. Look at EVs, internet, electricity ⚡️and countless examples. Yes, I do think you’re naïve in your approach.
Since US law enforcement agencies have been able to identify a money laundering offence involving this particular wallet, then they are well equipped to detect such crimes, and there is no need to criminalise mixers or #bitcoin wallets as a technology and its developers in general.
This is exactly what we talk about in our meetings with regulators: we understand that US law enforcement has all the tools to track #Bitcoin transactions on the blockchain. That is why real criminals, and even more so oligarchs, use completely different schemes to launder dirty money.
Besides, Western intelligence services are diligently training dictatorial regimes how to recognise both traditional banking and crypto-assets transactions, so the oligarchs have this knowledge from the intelligence services under their control in non-democratic countries. They don't want and don’t need to use such tools.
And to be precise, I definitely think it's very harmful to promote or ask oligarchs, criminals to use your privacy payment tools. It gives more opportunities to weaponise this kind of rhetoric by any kind of government.
Our 15 years of human rights practice shows that real oligarchs prefer other tools for laundering dirty money. For example, the daughter of dictator Nursultan #Nazarbayev, Dariga #Nazarbayeva - #UK law enforcement authorities failed in their attempts to hold her accountable for money laundering. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/apr/08/uk-agency-loses-case-against-ex-kazakh-president-family-aliyev-nazarbayev
Kazakhstani regime used political lobbyists, expensive Western law firms, and the Kazakhstani state apparatus to succeed in laundering her dirty money.
This scheme works for the oligarchs, people who have stolen billions from the budget of a country where their family members have been in power for decades, politically persecuting any dissent, torturing and killing.
They do not need mixers, they have perfectly mastered money laundering schemes through investments in expensive real estate and consultations with former higher officials, top Western law firms.
Mixers and self-hosted wallets, on the other hand, are used by activists who are financially excluded by authoritarian regimes and do not have the privilege to use banking services in general due to political repression.
Moreover, the knowledge of US intelligence agencies is used to financially exclude regime critics and their family members both domestically and transnationally. This is exactly what #Turkey, #Kazakhstan and other regimes do all the time, sharing knowledge gained from Western partners with #Russia, #Iran, #China to repress dissenters abroad.
In less than 5 minutes Kazakhstan blocks fundraising via bank account or @stripe for families of political prisoners, so bitcoin p2p transactions and mixers are currently the only instrument to protect human rights in such authoritarian countries. Regimes can trace such transactions, but they can't stop them and so far it has helped save lives.
Therefore, an effective fight against money laundering would begin not with the criminalisation of privacy payment tools and their developers, but with ending the impunity of authoritarian regimes and their oligarchs in using legal schemes to circumvent sanctions through the banking systems of third countries. 
you seem very naïve, preventing money laundering is not the goal here. goal is to prevent plebs from accessing privacy tools to circumvent the current system of taxation. if the laundering happens through the fiat system, its all good because the big guys at the local and national level get their cut via political donations and what not.
$10 says nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m won’t speak up on privacy not being a crime 😂
why would a spook say that privacy is not a crime ? Are you a retard ?
If I visit El Salvador I can be placed into the jail by Bukele because I have been chatting with nostr:npub1wp4wzdvn25ckqxd6v6y46axpdx25hywu2mduhr5r9a5vzq5g7keq332ynk on nostr via DMs (where everyone can see the metadata) who have been placed into the jail and killed by Bukele regime !
El Salvador is not the "freedom" paradise that many Bitcoiners believe it to be.
thankfully you break the circle jerking by never reposting stuff...
win-win, isn't it ?
people will always choose the narrative that makes them comfortable and fit in with the rest of their "tribe". story as old as time.
what's stopping you to start one ? you seem to have good ideas, be the change you want to see.

I love nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg except for their anal KYC requirements.
based on her replies, she seems obsessed with Jack and his relationships.

let us all vote anna_grace_643 for the president so we can be on the Bitcoin standard by this fall.
yes, that is smart. It is a good time to buy if you’re buying with all cash.
no, doesn’t make sense with interest rates being so high. best time to buy would be immediately after the rates come down because prices won’t adjust upwards due to market inertia.
